' PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 279,308, dated June 12, 1883,

Application filed November 16, 1882. (No model.)

a certain new and useful Improvement in Flows, and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and correct description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification.

This invention is intended more especially for opening up sugar-cane lands. It is also well adapted for cutting up pea-vines and for covering them at the same time, and it may be employed with advantage as a general cultivator.

My invention consists in the combination,

space between the plows, and a roller placed centrally in the rear of the plows, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth and specifically claimed.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved plow, and Fig. 2 is a plan or top view thereof. Fig. 3 is a top view of the plows and rolling colter detached from the beam, so as to show more-fully the relative positions of each.

The letter A designates the beam, B the clevis, and O the handles, all of which are 01 the ordinary construotiomwith the exception, perhaps, of the beam being made a little wider than ordinarily, especially at that part to which the plows are connected. The plowstandards (I and slides e, at the rear of the same,

are secured by means of bolts f 9, so as to leave I a space between the plows, within the forward part of which is suspended, from an adjustable frame, H, a revolving disk or colter, I, the 5 the beam is provided with a second adjustable frame, K, within the lower extremities of-which is journaled a roller, l, for pulverizing the clods of earth which may fall into the trench or furrow left by the plows. The .rear portion of the latter frame, K, has pivoted therein a scraper, m, the lower end or point of which serves to remove from the roller any earth which may adhere to the same. The frames H and K are secured to the beam by means of bolts 0 o, and are each provided with a slotted end, as shown atp p, in order that they may be properly adjusted and secured at such height as will provide for the operating parts, mounted therein, to perform their functions more effectually.

This plow is well adapted for opening canelands, as well as for cutting up pea-vines and covering them at the same time.

' Having described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. In an opening-plow, the combination,with a single beam and a rolling colter, of a right and left plow placed side by side and at such distance apart as to allow the colter to work in the space between them, substantially as shown and described.

2. In an opening-plow, the combination of the right and left plows attached to a' single beam and placed at a slight distance apart, the rolling colter arranged to run in the space between the plows, and a roller placed centrally in the rear of the plows, substantially as shown and described.

' In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
